I don’t think I’m too far off the rocker when I say I think tiny puppy clothes are super cute, totally adorable, and just about the most ridiculously ballin’ way you can dress up your little dog!
So you can hear someone else’s perspective on the matter, though, my friend Elle from New York City is going to share her thoughts on these little puppy clothes. She’s a chihuahua owner who owns a lot of small puppy clothing and has more chihuahua clothes outfits than anyone I know–and I know a LOT of dog clothing nutbags, so that’s saying something!
Elle brings a unique perspective to the tiny little world of mini puppy clothes, and I think you’re going to enjoy hearing from her, so we go:
Elle: Thanks again to Mikey for letting me guest post my crazy puppy clothes thoughts here, today!
Alright, so I dress my dogs up A LOT. I go out into the city to run my daily errands and I take my dogs with me whenever possible. I talked at length about that in my last post and how that can lead to you meeting a lot more people of the opposite sex!
But today, I want to talk briefly about how little dog clothes can lead to all sorts of people from all walks of life and different situations being a lot more friendly and nice toward you and your little doggies. I’ve noticed that whenever I head out with my tiny doggies and I have them bundled up in their cute little chihuahua clothes, people tend to approach me and by dogs with a more relaxed and friendly vibe than when my dogs are with me but they’re going au naturale or when I’m out on my own, alone!
Whether my four little puppies are wearing their cute little dog t-shirts or they’re wearing their haute couture dresses and outfits, or they’re just wearing their cute little, silly costumes, there’s definitely something to these tiny chihuahua puppy clothes that has a magical effect on most people. People see these tiny puppy clothes and it makes them feel good for some reason, and that translates into them treating and and your doggies and the situation with more love and care! It’s a little bizarre, but it works, so I’m not going to mess with it!
And I notice this happening pretty much everywhere we go. If I’m out with my dogs and they’re wearing their little bitty puppy outfits, people are just more friendly to us. When my dogs are wearing their irresistible small doggy clothes, people go out of their way to do things for us more often, like opening the door and letting us go first and take cuts… it’s great! These tiny clothes for puppies come with a lot of social benefits, that’s for sure!
When my little chihuahuas are sporting their latest small puppy clothes, people just approach us with a more happy, friendly energy. Often times, they’ll come up to my little dogs in their small puppy shirts and start talking to them before me, which can be a little annoying at times, I’ll admit. But usually it’s cool, and I understand: the tiny puppy sweaters and little dog outfits my little guys wear ARE pretty freaking adorable, and I know there are definitely times when I find it difficult to contain myself when I’m out walking my dogs and we pass by other dogs that are dressed up like nobody’s business! I do sometimes talk to the dressed up puppies first… I guess I’m really talking to and complimenting the owner, but I’m playfully masking it as though I’m sweet talking the tiny puppies!
I even notice my doggies get the special treatment at the vet’s office when they’re wearing their cute little chihuahua clothes. The vets just approach them with a more friendly, patient energy, and that definitely helps make the vet experience easier.
So definitely try out tiny puppy clothing on your little guys. These little outfits really seem to invite levity and friendliness into a lot of different social situations involving complete strangers, and that can be very useful at times and just plain more enjoyable, other times. Try it out and let me know how it goes! xoxo <3 -Elle Mikey: ...Yeah, I can totally relate Elle's experience with people 'showing you more love' when you're little dogs are wearing tiny puppy clothes.
